The Sunday Picture Show... (5-1-2016)

Here's one more 102...

102 DY...

 

[Stumps]

My last post here today for the last Buck 110 I received this past week.
This was a very inexpensive 110 that I decided to play with yesterday.





I took it apart first.



Then thinned out the bolsters some.



Started putting it back together.



Although not what I wanted to use on the handle, the thin piece of white G-10 is what I had, so I used G-Flex and let it sit about 9 hours.....



It got late last night and I just wanted to take some pictures and go to bed.
I REALLY need to finish polishing the bolsters to make it look right.
Also, I didn't get the blade pin peened well, but the knife works excellent. I may take the blade pin out when I go back to finish the bolsters and put a new pin in.















It turned into a slimmed down, front right pocket Buck 110.
The weight savings were less than I thought they might be. It went from 7.3 oz to 5.1 oz.
Kind of a fun project for a lazy Saturday.

Wow, that is thin. I would of guessed the weight savings would of been greater. Very nice job.:thumbup:

Nice show today gents, very much an upscale event. I went turkey hunting this past week, had my Winchester shotgun and two Buck Knives, both two liners, a 118 which got to butcher the bird and a 110 which only got to notch my game tag. OH

What a show so far today, Started with a Nice DY folder, Then a great big bad MM bowie, a bunch of sweet 102's. Mr Basil, That might be the finest looking Buck Knife in All of Russia:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Stumps, That G10 110 is about the coolest thing ever and I think it would like to replace my 501 stag Every day carry a few days a month[, especially at the trout club, Let me know when your ready to sell of trade it:thumbup::thumbup:

Like Many of you, I spend way too Much on Buck Knives more Weeks of the year than I should. And last week was one of them, I got a sweet Family favorites set for a very reasonable price:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:OK, I just wanted to add another 532 in Bark to my collection.......

Great show everyone. I like the mix of all the knives today. Very nice, Keep them coming.

Here is a buck 110 Salesman sample kit showing the variations of handles, etching, cutouts, leather colors and leather stamps, etc.

I am guessing this set is from 2005 since the catalog in the kit is from that year. Also in the kit is a credit app. 2005 retail price list, and a special projects price sheet. All together in a canvas bag.

Note on the back of the retail price list is both address's for that year. Until 3-4-2005 El Cajon Ca. and after 3-7-2005 Post Falls ID. due to their move.

Here is a 2 dot Buck 112 4 pin that I had Leroy Remer clean up. I sent him 24 knives to clean up for me a couple months ago which he finished up and gave them back to me when
I saw him at the knife show here in Oregon last month.

He did a fantastic job on all the knives I sent him. 1st class work.

I like that modification. Your pocket clip screws look like the heads are oversized. The quick fix is to chuck up the screws in a Dremel tool and spin grind them against a fine wheel or belt until the desired diameter is obtained. If the screws are stainless steel, you won't even mess up the finish. PM me if you need pix.

The Buck 104 Twin set NIB.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Another David Yellowhorse model 704. The Coyote was c.1991.

Chuck Buck Model 405 Signature Knife with Ivory Micarta handles. This is a really nice semi-custom knife. I really want to like this knife so much, it is so pretty and feels good in the hand. nickel silver guard and a really nice double keeper strap sheath. But what is Buck thinking?? ... the laser etching.... how cheep and cheesey... did they really need to etch "LIMITED EDITION" on the blade of an MSRP $300 knife? They did the same thing on the Glint knife also. The cheap etching is more appropriate on a model 110 for Dicks or an import at Walmart... so low end buyers can think they are getting something special.... This knife could have been so much more classier if they had kept it away from the laser. The initials on the handle were nice and understatedly classy...just stop there. I could do without the Signature on the blade also, but that's just me. Enough rant.

California is so funny... does anyone even pay attention to these labels? There is something in the box that might cause cancer but no mention of the fact that the contents could possibly poke a terminal hole in someone....

The SK Knives D2 Buck 110.

 

[DeSotoSky]

Another 2016 Limited edition. A Duke 500 with MOP scales, polished stainless bolsters and a mirror polished 440C blade. I can't recall Buck using 440C on any other knife in recent times. Comes in a black LE box and a leather slipper. Again... a laser etching on the blade of an expensive knife.

Mark I got the paddleboat and the RR 110 in the marble top box - love them both
Here are some 277/279 that I believe I have posted before. I have added a few more but don't have pics and too lazy to take some, sorry

They used it on the Federal and Magnolia 110s in 2014 I believe.

 

[MaxCast]

Lots of good knife series pics.

Stumps, love what you did to that 110. Have you ever tried a wrap around clip similar to the vantage? I'm getting closer to trying something similar in an indigo blue but need a decent blade.

working up some pics for submission to the show.

DeSotoSky,

Great looking knives. You didn't waste any time getting photos. I agree about the etching. Every once in a while I think about getting an 802, but I don't like the etched signature. I like the blades unadorned.
